[Verse 1] You left mom in that blue-lit room Paper gowns and unpaid truth Signed your name on the line that cut Our house in half Our hearts in two I learned young how a door can slam How a pill How a bill How a broken man Can disappear instead of hold a hand You called it “love” I called it running [Chorus] I was your golden child You were a hollow man All shine No shelter Just an empty plan Tried to stitch your shadow to who you said you were But every time that someone needed you You left them there to burn I want to forgive you I do I swear I can But you’re still that golden child’s hollow man [Verse 2] Second wife in another bed You rehearsed all the lines you said About “fate” and “it’s out of my hands” While you packed your books and your favorite pans You blamed God You blamed time You blamed the cost But it’s just your heart that you never lost You only show up when it’s curtains call For sympathy Not to hold the fall [Chorus] I was your golden child You were a hollow man All charm Cold marble where your heart should land Tried to draw a circle big enough to let you in But every time that love got sick You chose your skin I want to forgive you I do I swear I can But you’re still that golden child’s hollow man [Bridge] Now you’re pale in that plastic chair (oh) Tubes like vines on your paper skin You say “Kid Don’t hold this against me” And I watch your old excuses grin You talk about the weather You talk about the nurse You never say you’re sorry You never touch the worst I came here with a mercy A white flag in my hand But you’d burn it for a spotlight You still don’t understand [Chorus] I was your golden child You were a hollow man Still fishing for forgiveness like it’s owed on demand I trace every leaving back to where it all began And I finally stop pretending you’re a better kind of man I wanted to save you I did But now I am Letting go of your ghost (letting go of your ghost) You’re just a hollow man [Outro] You fade into the hallway hum I walk out into the cold Undone I break the chain the only way I can I was your golden child I’m not your hollow Man
